«Le Pays» is the novel by Marie Darrieussecq published in 2007 by Folio in paperback (256 pages, in French).
A woman returns to her native land, a small coastal country without a state, and settles there with her family. Between moves and memories, the secrets of filiation surface: she is a daughter, granddaughter, wife and mother, and the house of the dead draws her in. With subtle irony and almost scientific precision, Darrieussecq explores memory, uprootedness and identity.
Le Pays is part of the Folio collection (no. 4582); the original edition appeared in 2007.
The novel is aimed at a general audience, especially readers of contemporary fiction and French narrative.
Marie Darrieussecq is a French writer. She is also a translator, and has practised as a psychoanalyst.
